The spaceship Emporium, inspired to the Mars Excursion Module, is equipped with a special Jump Drive engine, which allows it to travel between two points via teleportation in hyperspace. TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space) – various spacecraft- time machine hybrids equipped with some sort of jump drive featured on the television ...
In J. Michael Straczynski's sci-fi TV show Babylon 5, many of the First Ones used organic ships, like the Vorlon and Shadows races.

To travel between stars in a reasonable time using rocket-like technology requires very high effective exhaust velocity jet and enormous energy to power this, such as might be provided by fusion power or antimatter. There are very few scientific studies that investigate the issues in building a starship. Some examples of this include:
Rocket on cover of Other Worlds sci-fi magazine, September 1951 Space travel , [ 1 ] : 69 [ 2 ] : 209–210 [ 3 ] : 511–512 or space flight [ 2 ] : 200–201 [ 4 ] (less often, starfaring or star voyaging [ 2 ] : 217, 220 ) is a science fiction theme that has captivated the public and is almost archetypal for science fiction.

Matt Jefferies designed the crew's spaceship, the USS Enterprise. Jefferies' experience with aviation led to his Enterprise designs being imbued with what he called "aircraft logic". [3] Series creator Gene Roddenberry wanted the ship's design to convey speed, power, a "shirt sleeve" working environment, and readiness for a multiyear mission. [4]
Technology in science fiction is a crucial aspect of the genre. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] As science fiction emerged during the era of Industrial Revolution , the increased presence of machines in everyday life and their role in shaping of the society was a major influence on the genre.
